a 14-day manicure: the results
Two week ago I got a CND Shellac manicure, and I have to say, I’m a believer. It’s still just as shiny as it was on day one, but it didn’t stay chip-free for a full 14 days. By day 11 I noticed wear and tear along the tips and near my cuticle; you could tell where it was starting to grow out. Yesterday the polish on my right hand started peeling in a couple of places, and once it did, I couldn’t help myself… I had to pick at it. The polish on my left hand, though, stayed pretty much intact, except for a chip on my middle finger. I’m right-handed, so perhaps that’s why my left hand looks better.
This afternoon I’m heading back to the salon to have the gel-polish hybrid removed and a new color applied. But which color to choose…


I like Tutti Frutti!
I went with your pick — it’s so summery and PINK. I feel like a Barbie doll (in a good way).
I learned about the Shellac Manicure from my blog. I’m in sales so I have to keep them looking good but I am hard on them so this is a real life (and pocketbook) saver. Thanks for the helpful info. I got mine at Legacy Nails and Spa. It’s totally worth it.
I meant YOUR BLOG. Sheesh. Don’t drink and write, already
I happened to stop in Legacy Nails and Spa this weekend and learned that they charge $10 LESS for the Shellac manicure than my nail salon, although it is a bit further away from where I live. Hmm…
